Open AccessPutative biomarkers for predicting tumor sample purity based on gene expression data
Tumor purity is the percent of cancer cells present in a sample of tumor tissue. The non-cancerous cells (immune cells, fibroblasts, etc.) have an important role in tumor biology. The ability to determine tumo...

Open AccessT-KDE: a method for genome-wide identification of constitutive protein binding sites from multiple ChIP-seq data sets
A protein may bind to its target DNA sites constitutively, i.e., regardless of cell type. Intuitively, constitutive binding sites should be biologically functional. A prerequisite for understanding their funct...

Open AccessCharacterization of constitutive CTCF/cohesin loci: a possible role in establishing topological domains in mammalian genomes
Recent studies suggested that human/mammalian genomes are divided into large, discrete domains that are units of chromosome organization. CTCF, a CCCTC binding factor, has a diverse role in genome regulation i...

Open AccessExploring photosynthesis evolution by comparative analysis of metabolic networks between chloroplasts and photosynthetic bacteria
Chloroplasts descended from cyanobacteria and have a drastically reduced genome following an endosymbiotic event. Many genes of the ancestral cyanobacterial genome have been transferred to the plant nuclear ge...
